With the wide receiver market quickly taking shape, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers landed one of the top prizes: Vincent Jackson.

The Buccaneers and the free agent receiver reached a contract agreement Tuesday. According to the Tampa Tribune and ESPN's Adam Schefter, the sides settled on a five-year, $55.55 million deal, with $36 million guaranteed over the first three years. Included in that amount is a guaranteed $26 million that Jackson will receive over the first two years.

Jackson, 29, has played seven seasons with the Chargers, topping 1,000 yards three times. After missing 11 games in 2010 due to a contract dispute, he had 60 catches for 1,106 yards and a career-high-tying nine touchdowns in 2011.

He played last year with San Diego after the team gave him the franchise tag.

Tight end Kellen Winslow was the Buccaneers' leading pass-catcher last year with 75 receptions. Mike Williams topped the team with 771 receiving years, while Dezmon Briscoe had a team-high six touchdown catches.

Already in the first day of wheeling and dealing, the Chicago Bears acquired receiver Brandon Marshall from the Miami Dolphins for two draft picks, and the Washington Redskins signed free agent receivers Pierre Garcon, Eddie Royal and Josh Morgan.
